Patent.Leather shoes.

A few years ago gentleman walking
on our streets in pair of patent-lcather
boots received so much attention from
our street arabs, paper-merchants, &c, +,
that he would hesitate coming out in
them the second time. Times have
changed. Now they are not only indis-
pensable for dinners, receptions, balls,
&c. but are much worn for walking. l
invite your attention to them in Boots,
Pomps, Lace-O Oxfords, and all the styles.

The Capitol officers are not inclined
TO accept the view contained in our
Boston special yesterday-yiz., that the
spurious bonds were put forth as mere
" curiosities or were thought to be
"repudiated bonds of no more than
remotely prospective value.
Certain it is that the parties who got
possession Of them found them un-
signed and proceeded TO sign them
with the names Of ID. II. Reveley and
"J. A. Smith, which was an unneces.
sary proceeding where bond was held
as a curiosity. The other view is more
likely, and is sustained TO some extent
by the fact that four of the five persons
WHO wrote here for information con-
cerning the bonds seemed TO have
doubts about them, but in one case
Blake Brothers & Co., of Boston,} the
firm accepted an offer made them by
Williams a Son, aud were in expecta-
ton of receiving for their venture
50, 800 in good money, until investiga-
ton by the Richmond firm named
above revealed the fact that the bonds
were spurious and consequently value
less.

Provisions OF the Bill as Agreed on
in Conference.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The naval
appropriation bill, as finally agreed upon
In conferences, carries the same appropri-
alton for next year for the increase of the
navy as was contained in the original
House bill, but there are some differences
in the objects OF the expenditures. Two
OF the gunboats provided for in the
House bill have been omitted as
well as torpedo boat, and
the item for the purchase OF Ericoson's
destroyer, inserted by the Senate, was
also dropped. In Its present shape the
bill makes provisions for two cruisers
larger than the Newark and faster than
nineteen knots. with premium for any
excess of speed, and two gunboats of the
pattern of gunboat "No. l." There are
also two coast defense vessels not to ex-
ceed $2,000,000 In cost, and for the
beginning of their construction 81, 900, 600
is appropriated. Their design, dimen-
sIons and speed are to be prescribed by
the Secretary OF the Navy. For torpedoes
$500 is allowed, and the provision for
a naval war college is excluded. The
other changes made in the house bill are
unimportant, not amounting in all to
more than 100000.

40 PENSION FOR MRS. LOGAN.
Failure TO Pass the Biil Under o

Suspension Of the Rules.
WASHINGTON, March SIN the House
tonight Mr.. Anderson, OF Iowa, moved to
suspend the rules and pass the Senate bill
granting pension OF $4,000 per yssr 10
Mary $. Logan, widow of the late John
A. Logan, and addressed the House In
support OF the blll.
Mr.. Tsrsney, OF Michigan, who de-
scrlbsd himself as one OF flve Michigan
brothers, all Democrats, OF whom one
was killed fighting tor the Union, another
lay eighteen months IN Confederate
prison, and two others bore scars OF hon.
orabe conflict, protested against the
principle oil the bill. He saw no reason
why peneions like the one proposed
should he given 10 the widows OF officers
merely because their husbands had been
officers, while the families OF private
soldiers were left to shift for themselves,
or granted the merest piGtance.
Mr.. Allen, OF Mississippi, reterring 10
the intimetions that ex-Confederatee
would vote against the bill on account OF
the will they bore against those who had
been victorious over them, dsclared th at
he represented the sentiment OF every
Confederate when he said there was not
lingering In the South one single scintiila
of hatred or prejudice or ill will sgainst
any man because he WAS opposed TO IL In
that unfortunate conflict.
WHO ARE FORGIVEN.
"You forgive us" queried Mr.. john
ston, OF Indiana, amid laughter.
1--WE forgive" retorted MI. Allen, "the
soldiers, but we do not forgive the dema-
gogues who are trying to make capital
out of soldiers" Laughter and ap-
plause.
MIR. Randall said that he had voted to
give the widows OF Gems. Thomas and
Hancock $1,000 a year. They had been
exceptional cases, ard he was ready here
tonight to make an exceptional case on
behalf of the widow OF John A. Logan,
[Applase. He could detect no line
of difference in the heart
beats or nerve pulses OF the
three men as they stood in the armies OF
the United States In behalf Of the Union,
except In this-that two OF them had
been I'm the regular army and that there
were precedents for granting pensions to
their widows. He proposed to make a
precedent in behalf of the volunteer army
of the United States. Applause. He
spoke the sentiments Of the people here
present. The motion to suspend the
rules and pass the bill was lost by vote
OF 145 TO 1l3, not the necessary two
thirds In the affirmative.

What Devices Bolton Wore the Day
He was Assassinated,
WASHINGTON, March 3-In the Texas
investigation this morning the counsel
for the prosecution commenced the sub
mission of evidence in rebuttal. John A .
Vernon, who held the inquest over the
body of Devices Bolton. testified that the
coat on the body of Devices Bolton was a
"slicker rain coat" in support OF the evil
dence given that Bolton wore such
coat as part OF his disguise
when he entered the polling
place for the alleged purpose of raidIng
1t. The prosecution also submitted IN
evidence letter published in the Bren-
ham Daily Banner on the morning OF the
day OF the indignation meeting and signed
by Potter, one OF the Republicans charged
with melting the negroes to arms, in
which it was denied that he had directly
or indirectly advised the colored people
to arm, and the report was character
lied as a willful and malicious lie.
The Republicans, the letter said, had ad-
vised the people Just 10 the contrary, and
assured them that the conservative ele-
ments of the white people would not per-
nit any unlawful acts or any violence to
be perpetraJed upon the negroes. The
letter also said that the c0lored people, re-
lying upon the assurances of the writer
and his friends, apprehended no danger,
and that they were not armed. The com.
mittee then adjourned until Saturday.

a Sensational Incident in the Chi
cago Lake Front salt.
CHICAGO, March 3.-The great iitiga-
tion involving the Illinois Central Rail-
road Company, a claim to the harbor
front of Chicago, came before Judge
Gresham yesterday, and he was about TO
give 1t bis attention when somewhat
sensational incident occurred. 1t has
been we'll known that a desire has ex-
listed in many quarters since Judge
Greshain's speedy determination OF the
Wabash railway case that he should
trv the Lake front question. The rail-
road company has been filling IN alou g
the Lake shore bordering its tracks and
creating a strip of solid land to which the
road lays claim. Acting for the State
Attorney General local lawyers appear
ed before Judge Gresham yesterday to
press Injunction proceedings began some
time ago, but dropped on promise since
broken, that the company would cease
operations.
THE INSULT.
When the new restraining order was
asked OF Judge Gresham yesterday,
John n. Jewett arose o. behalf of the
railroad company and opposed the motion,
saying the company wished the case
heard by Judge Bl0dgett, aud not by Judge
Gresham. Judge Gresbam's face flushed
hotly, and he interrupted Mr.. Jewett to
say that he would have nothing to do with
the case, Nothing could be more oflen-
sive TO Judge than TO be told ia 80 many
words that the parties feared he would
not try their case fairly. He had no re-
spect for a court that would allow itself
TO be influenced by personal considera-
tions. He knew nothing whatever about
the case nor what interests were
involved, but he could see no reason why
he should be objected to as the Judge to
try 1t. Under the circumstances he would
not touch it, but he wished it distinctly
understood in the future that any case
which came before HIM In a regular way
he would net shrink from hearing for any
insinuatiOns OF counsel. Mr.. Jewett did
not reply. The result will probably be
that neither Judge Gresham nor Judge
Blodgett, but Justice Harlan, will try the
0aap.

The President Not to Make the APP

WASHINGTON, March 3.-It is stated
at the White House that Secretary Man
ning's successor will not be appointed for
several days yet. 1t was the Presidents
purpose originally TO have nom mated a
Secretary OF the Treasury during the
present session of Congress, but he has
been 80 much engaged with other matters
requiring immediate attention that be
has not been able to give the subject the
attention it deserved. AS Secretary
Manning's resignation does not take eff
feet until April 1, the President will have
ample time to fiji the office aft1 the ad-
journment before it will be vacated. The
delay in making the appointment is re
garded as unfayorable to Assistant Sec
retary Fairchild, inasmuch as il the
President had intended to give him the
Office further consideration of the ques-
ton would be unnecessary.

would be nominated this afternoon TO be

nominations of the Secretary Of the Treas

do not take effect until April, and there
is no reason why their successors should
be appointed till then. There is srlll
every reason TO believe that Mr.. Fslrchild
Will succeed Mr.. Manning. The Presi-
